Thanks for all those that watched the video in the first couple of days and commented to participate in the giveaway! The idea was to make the odds of winning high for those more loyal subscribers and those on the Facebook Axum page where I posted a link. Again, thanks for watching and participating. The giveaway is now closed. The winner is vekastokc!

@@TonyHob I know, I used your video to help me disassemble mine since I got it as a very well used bare frame. I completely replaced all the bearings, put on a early 2000's Fatty Ultra, modified it to front and rear disc brakes..sanded and repainted the frame and swing arm...it's pretty much a brand new bike. The only thing I did not touch was the rear shock.

Been getting back into biking and have a nice old cannondale scalpel with 26" wheels and was trying to look into a beater for around town and the trails. I've been debating between this one and a bikes direct single speed 29er to get into the 29er game. I'm thinking I may do this guy because of the upgrade possibilities. This has me leaning towards the Schwinn. Either way, this channel is awesome! Keep up the content.

It really depends where and how you ride. If you ride mostly flat areas or rolling hills the 1x8 will be fine. If you plan on doing a lot of climbing or technical trails consider upgrading to a 1x11 drivetrain.

I love my Schwinn Axum mountain bike it’s extremely fast and very easy to ride in very comfortable. I have a better seat for it. So it’s very comfortable. I love my mountain bike. I just want to ride my bike for forever. Because I listen to my Dr. Dre beat headphones Bluetooth and I listen to my rock ‘n’ roll or whatever I listen to and have fun exploring everywhere. It’s a top-of-the-line Walmart mountain bike. I love the. 1-8 speeds. It’s designed like that so you can enjoy your bicycle cruising. I love it that it has dual disc brakes 29 inch rims and all quick release tires thank you Wal-Mart I’m a very happy customer I have to get the dropper post seat. It’s already ready for it, I got the standard large frame, Schwinn Axum mountain bike it’s DP ready I have to get the air, suspension seat post and the shifter but all in all I love the spike it’s aluminum frame this bike is really enjoyable to ride in very very fast

Hello Tony. What type of bottom bracket and crankset are you using here? I'm confused with the standards and schwinn axum's compatibility. I found a good deal on NX eagle groupset ($180) and not sure which type I need (boost vs non-boost).

@TonyHob Жыл бұрын

The NX crankset depends on the chainring, 6mm offset chainring non boost and 3 mm for boost. Boost works best for the Axum

@mateennique Жыл бұрын

@@TonyHob Thanks! I'm reading that the rear spacing for the axum is 141mm QR, which is non-boost, I believe. Boost is 148mm, right? With that, boost crankset is still a better option for the axum? Also, the dub bottom bracket is the same for boost or non-boost crankset, right? Pardon if I'm asking something obvious. I'm a noob when it comes to MTB, just purchased an axum and thinking about upgrading the drivetrain. I was going to order Advent X, but seeing 1x12 groupset for around the same price, I think it's a better option. Just want to make sure I'm ordering the right part.

@mateennique Жыл бұрын

Ah, never mind, I'm seeing that 141mm QR is a boost standard. Quite confusing, tbh.

Would it be fair to say this bike is not worth it without doing all those upgrades? If you don't have any components to upgrade with it sounds you are better off buying something that is trail worthy, even if it cost $200 or $400 more than the $400 this bike normally sells for. Maybe you still need to customize a more expensive bike, but it would not be so many components hopefully.

I would say it’s better to buy a nicer bike from the start. In my case I was looking for a frame and could not find one for less than the cost of the Axum
